Oh, y’all, this one is extra special! Stephen & Ashley’s engagement session was a dream—full of love, laughter, and two of the cutest four-legged scene-stealers I’ve ever met! Their sweet pups totally took over in the best way possible, and I was not mad about it.

Stephen just slightly ;) taller than Ashley, which just makes their love story even cuter. Every time he looked down at her, you could just see how much he adores her. And Ashley? She lights up around him in a way that makes my photographer heart so happy! Their connection is effortless, and capturing it was such a joy.

And speaking of joy… I may or may not have made them race. Because why not?! And let me tell you—Stephen did not let Ashley win. 😂 He took off like it was the Olympics, and she was left laughing (and probably a little annoyed). But let’s be real—she totally knew what she was getting into with him! Just one more reason why these two are so perfect together.

This wedding is going to be extra special for me because I’ve been photographing Stephen’s brother, Charlie, and his beautiful wife, Jessica, and their two kiddos for years. This family is part of our fire family, and keeping it all in the family just makes my heart so full. Watching these big life moments unfold for them is the best part of what I do.

Stephen & Ashley are tying the knot this May, and if their engagement session was any indication, their wedding day is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to celebrate with them, their sweet pups, and all their loved ones. May can’t get here fast enough!

Stay tuned—this one’s going to be good! ❤️🔥
